Amending existing law to revise provisions regarding Appaloosa license plates.

THIS Legislation amends Idaho Code Section 49-420D, to revise provisions regarding the Appaloosa Horse License Plates. The original legislation instructed any fees collected for the Appaloosa specialty license plate be directed to the Appaloosa Horse Club. However, The Club is no longer located within the State of Idaho and has since moved to Oklahoma City. However, the Appaloosa Museum and heritage center foundation remains and continues to operate in Moscow. This bill does three (3) things. It will: • changethenameoftherecipientofanyfundscollectedfromthisspecialtyplatetotheAppaloosaMuseum and Heritage Center Foundation located at 2720 W. Pullman Road, Moscow, Idaho 83843; • change the purpose of the funding to be used “…exclusively for the purpose of funding education and programming related to horses in the state of Idaho; and • allow vehicles with a registered maximum gross weight up to twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds to also purchase this specialty plate. The reason for this change is that many pickups and trailers hauling horses weigh more than the old weight limit of sixteen thousand (16,000) pounds.
